Abstract

The discovery of a gamma-ray flash and kilonova (KN; aka. macronova), AT2017gfo, associated with the first binary neutron star (BNS) merger detected by aLIGO/AdV, GW170817, heralded the era of GW+EM multi-messenger astronomy. This landmark event confirmed both the association of short GRBs with binary mergers, and that neutron star material can be ejected in sufficient quantities to power a detectable radioactive transient. It opened a new window on several long-standing problems in astrophysics, cosmology and fundamental physics, including the possibility that BNS and NSBH compact binary mergers represent the dominant source of heavy r-process elements in the universe. However, the lack of success in identifying similar events in the O3 run of the gravitational wave detector network so far has highlighted that their rate is low in the nearby universe (e.g. d
